Um, how about two wheels at the front, one at the back? Asking a bit much, I suppose...

If you have a convertible, just fold back the roof and enjoy !

OK -- how about a dashboard with integral GPS, CD/MP3 player, cruise control and ultrasonic parking assist? Then there's stuff like electric mirrors, a rear view mirror that dims when a following car has its lights on, indicator lights in the wing mirrors and a puddle light that comes on when you open the top. Oh, and of course, a cup-holder with a bizarrely complicated mechanical arrangement to get a full-size cup-holder out of an unfeasibly small hole in the dash (preferably motorised).

You missed Air Con, Air bags, ABS Procon Ten, and annoying lights which only go off when you shut the fridge door, oooh there's an idea! How about a fridge and a shower like the Honda CRV, and especially for Nikki Traction Control
You could of course get really silly and go for DVD player and seperate headphone socket for the rear passengers but of course there isn't a rear passenger seat but then hey why not have that too! Of course you could go the whole hog and make it 7 seater plus four wheel drive but that might be pushing it a bit too far cos we'd then have to figure out where to put the 4th wheel! LOL
Is that all getting a bit OTT and greedy? we could go minimalist and take a wheel off? or even just have one! Ahhh the endless posibilities...........
Ooooh oooh oooh just thought of another!
Silly blue LEDs in the wash jets!
I'll bet Booboo is making notes on all this and doing it on a C5

...A City El which works would be a start right now. My Charger has completely given up the ghost, so it's back to disconnecting all the car and leaving it for 24 hours to discharge any hardware latches etc...
I've nearly ordered the new charger, but I need one with a PWM BMS interface, which Zivan Uk haven't heard of...
<<<< Unhappy Nikki.

Maybe you should consider some alternate power?
I've got some elastic bands....
